The Moto E (2015) has been available in the US in unlocked form for a while, and yesterday it's also gone on sale at a couple of carriers. Actually, we're talking about Sprint and one of its prepaid brands - Boost Mobile, to be exact. Sprint's other prepaid brand, Virgin Mobile, will launch the new Moto E on March 9 (which is this coming Monday).

Sprint Pre-Paid will be picking it up in black and selling it through Best Buy and Radio Shack. They also have it listed for $99.99. As you can see in the image above, they aren’t selling through their prepaid online store. It could make an appearance eventually, but for now you will need to visit Best Buy to pick one up.

Boost Mobile is the first to officially launch the device with a starting price tag of $99.99. That is for the LTE variant, making it $50 less than if you bought it out right and unlocked from Motorola. Boost is only offering the device in white though.

The Virgin Mobile variant will also come in black for Virgin Mobile and be sold through Wal-Mart starting March 9th. No mention of price was released in the announcement email I received, but I think it is safe to assume it will also retail for $99.99.

The 2015 Moto E has a 4.5-inch 960x540 display, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage. It comes in both LTE and non-LTE flavors, featuring 1.2GHz quad-core processors, though the non-LTE version has a Snapdragon 200, while the LTE version has the Snapdragon 410. The Moto E has a 5MP rear camera, with a front-facing VGA sensor.
